November 4, 2020

Parkview School a TK-12 alternative school serving Independent Study (IS) students at Placenta-Yorba Linda Unified, in Orange County California, has selected School Pathways to manage their IS program.

We have seen a significant uptick in the number of students opting for Independent study this year and having solid technology to help manage our program is crucial for allowing us to provide a great experience for our IS teachers and students,” said James Hardin, Principal at Parkview School. “We look forward to working with School Pathways to deliver engaging, high-quality instruction in our Independent Study program.”
